Following the introduction of the highly successful MINIBULK® range of storage & process tanks in polypropylene & HDPE some 30 years ago, Forbes have developed the MINIBULK-TOTAL® which has an integral close fitting safety bund. At present capacities in excess of 40 cubic metres are available. So called “double skin” tanks are not full bunded tanks in the eyes of the Health & Safety Executive & Environmental Agency. The MINIBULK-TOTAL® range is fully compliant.
Experts from joint integrity and engineering services company Hydratight found an innovative solution to a tricky repair for Statoil, by using a MORGRIP connector to repair a 6in super duplex pipe located within the constrained space of a subsea manifold, 340m under the surface of the North Sea.
For over 50 years, Fluid Metering, Inc. has been providing their unique valveless, ceramic piston pump design for precision fluid control in Laboratory, Process, and Industrial applications. In addition, FMI’s miniature OEM pumps have proven ideal for micro-volume fluid control in analytical, medical, and process instrumentation. FMI’s newly released 2012 Full Line Catalog introduces many new products and accessories for both OEM and end user applications. New OEM products include economical, low volume fixed displacement stepper pumps, as well as miniature, low volume pumps with isolation-glands.
The HydroWhirl™ S tank washing nozzle range has recently been expanded to include ATEX certified versions for use in atmospheres that are potentially explosive. Available from nozzle specialists BETE Ltd the innovative HydroWhirl™ nozzle is designed to meet the exacting standards for effective cleaning-in-place (CIP) required in the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The new ATEX versions are certified for use in potentially explosive areas and they also meet the requirements for gas and dust approvals for all zones (0,1 and 2).
HydroWhirl nozzles are self-cleaning and self-lubricating, so the possibility of process contamination is eliminated, while its compact design allows it to be fitted through small, restricted access flanges. They are ideal for medium tanks (up to 5 metres in diameter), used in the chemical, food, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries, where superior cleaning combined with reduced cycle times, lower water, energy and chemical consumption are increasingly becoming important considerations.
Tank Inspections Ltd was created due to the demand from end users for reliable inspections of various plastics and composite tanks, vessels, scrubbers and other process equipment.
Representatives from a number of major tank manufacturers, insurers and inspectors worked closely with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to produce two 'advice to user' guides for GRP and Thermoplastic tanks, PM75 and PM86. These are available as downloads for our website www.tankinspections.co.uk
The new UK Short Form Catalogue (Release 6.0) from Camozzi Pneumatics Ltd has now been launched.
